Virtual Office Pro: Complete Cloud Communications

Virtual Office Pro 2.0, from the telecommunications company 8×8, is a web-based suite of communications and collaboration services. The suite, known as VO Pro, includes phone, fax, web conferencing, call recording and chat.

VO Pro’s Flash-based web interface allows direct sending and receiving of calls through a softphone, as well as access to functions that are standard with many VoIP systems, such as call forwarding and three-way calling. Users can also record and archive calls, and can see live video of callers and co-workers. 8×8 has jumped on the social media bandwagon, too: and users can post status messages to Twitter and Facebook directly from the VO Pro dashboard. In addition, the service includes unlimited sending and receiving of faxes.

8×8 Virtual Office Pro 2.0 is available as part of several plans, including an “unlimited” plan for a price of $49.99 per extension per month, plus a $40 setup fee. It is possible to port existing telephone numbers to the service.
